Preface to the new edition, excerpt:
"So, yourself?
you
Not that big
Mother’s child + Son’s father + Friend’s confidant + Wife’s husband + Boss’s subordinate’s boss + Justice in right and wrong + Peacemaker in quarrels + Tree hole in trouble + Emotional blackmailer and victim
Just as small as
A breather in the gap between people
you
It’s your studies, career, lover, family, previous generation, next generation, ID card, credit card, and accumulated debt.
sum
But those people, things, and things are not exactly the same as
you
So, how do you face yourself after you have nothing?
Who do you think you are?
If I doubt you so much
Please remember to reply like this:
world
Added you
minus you
is not equal to the original
world
So, you have nothing of your own
Also yourself
It’s also you”
The book is "So, Yourself?" 》New edition, new edition preface added.
"So, yourself?" How would you respond to this seemingly endless question?
The answer is: "What about myself? What are you asking about about myself?"
Then, the person asking asked again:
"Anything is fine, as long as it's your own."
When you see a house, what do you think of? Is it a place where you and your loved ones can have a roof over your head and live together, or is it a place where you are trapped under a "roof"?
"So, yourself?" ", one question brings up the entire book and makes you think about yourself.
As people grow older, their identities and roles become longer and longer. After a series of relationships, they are forced or voluntarily become more and more blurred. Until one day, when they look back, they find that they are the shadow cast on the ground, the person who once was. The real self is no longer clear.
For example, Lin Xi asked in the preface: "What about your own hobbies? Your hobby is to love this family. If the family members have their own interests and want to get along with each other, will you also be able to fall in love with what they love and just love them?"
"If he is happy, so you are happy? Then your own beliefs, your values, your sense of right and wrong, your private world are all communist, your personality? If you don't have a person of your own, even if you have great achievements for the people around you, isn't it? Become a vassal of other people's lives? If your relationship changes, you will be nothing. In a healthy relationship, you can have your own love and not conflict with each other, and then live your own life. Without ego, it is just a trap. You will crush yourself. It can be molded into mud and poured into it to achieve perfection. If this is you, I can only give you infinite blessings."
You, others, and the people you care about can actually coexist, but when did we forget it?
